Convenience may be king for these delivery boxes – but it doesn’t mean you have to skimp on top-quality produce. We’ve hand-selected some of the best produce and meal kit options on the market that deliver veggies, meat, seafood and pre-planned meals to your doorstep.
From meat-only produce boxes that showcase organic chicken (ideal for cooking up recipes like Hellenika’s chicken souvlaki, pictured above) and grass-fed steaks; to customisable meal kits that take the guesswork out of weeknight cooking, these options will take one big thing off your to-do list each week.
The best meal kits and produce box deliveries making life easier in 2024
Butcher Crowd
Butcher Crowd is a meat delivery service that cuts out the middleman to offer high-quality Australian meat and seafood direct to home chefs. Grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pasture-raised chicken and pork and wild-caught seafood are sourced from farmers, with customisable boxes delivered monthly. Highlights include Cape Grim Scotch fillet steaks, Saskia Beer chicken thighs and good quality pork mince. All cuts come frozen, so you can store then thaw as needed. For more details, head to the Butcher Crowd website.

Chef-developed recipes underpin this easy-going meal kit, which favours quick cook times and an array of cuisines. While the meals aren’t super advanced, they are a step above other similar meal kits, with interesting marinades and seasonings; fast preparation time; and decent produce. You can select to cook for two-four people; and get anywhere from three meals weekly or bi-weekly.
Good and Fugly
Lesser-loved produce gets a home with Good and Fugly. This produce box rescues fruit and veggies that don’t meet supermarkets’ aesthetic standards and divvies them out in weekly or bi-weekly boxes. The produce is still flavourful and useable – sometimes just a little wonky – and changes seasonally. In summer, ripe tomatoes, carrots and beans may fill your box; while in winter brassicas and root vegetables are on high rotation.
